The 5 D's
I am what you would call a ' Big God' person. By that I mean, that I don't focus on the enemy when I pray - I focus on God. I don't go looking for demons under every bush or rock, and I don't see the demonic everywhere and in every situation. BUT....and here's the BUT.....I have been reminded in the last ten years or so, that I can't be naive. We ARE in a war. We DO have an enemy, and that enemy's goal is to kill, steal and destroy everything he can in my relationships : with God and with others! So....in order to defeat this foe, I have to understand his tactics. Yes, warfare is inevitable. As a leader, I have to be aware that am going to be 'contended for'. As a leader, I can't let false humility lead me into dangerous traps: eg . " Oh, who am I to ask people to pray for me." or better yet, ' I'm nothing special - just little ' ol me'! No way! We have to understand 'who' we are and fight accordingly.
